Leadership Learning Community

The Leadership Institute has partnered with Residential Living to create an engaging learning opportunity for students interested in leadership. Students now have the option to live in the Leadership Learning Community in the Living Learning Center. Students in the Learning Community will live with peers who share an interest in leadership development in order to foster a community of learners within the residence halls and to connect students with similar interests. Participants will have an academic requirement in the fall semester and will be responsible for attending various co-curricular events in both the fall and spring semester. Participation in the Learning Community is limited to 25 people, and spots will be filled on a first-come, first serve basis.
